Dancing on Ice starts tonight

Isn't Joey the spitting image of his lovely mum?

So pleased 'The Viv' got those 3 10's. Elegant and beautiful to watch.

Wow, "The Viv's" confidence restored. That's a boost of points.

Great viewing tonight!

The Viv - elegant but not nearly as technical as Nile's routine... although the judges seem to differ!

Yes. I noticed that too.
The Viv will have to try really hard to overcome that heavy fall. It would really throw me, that's for sure!

For me Joey rushes his moves unless he is coupled with Vanessa. Do you think that Sparklefizz ?

No one is coming near Nile’s perfect score.
I wonder if The Viv can, or has the stumble at the beginning played on her mind? She looks stunning tonight.

I am in tears too - both at Nile's story which I didn't know, and at the emotion in his performance.... and at his 4 x 10s. I've already voted for him.

Nile was the only one who didn't wobble in the solo skate, whereas all the others, even Joey did.

Yes, The Viv really went down heavily, and yet she is such a strong confident skater. I reckon she'll be in the final though.

Nile and his dad have me in tears. I had read about Nile’s addiction problems and he has certainly not let his family down doing this Show.

The Viv always looks so “safe” . It just shows how much support a hand from a Pro partner can be to steady the Celebs.
They each looked very vulnerable skating alone.

Goodness!!! My nerves are in tatters after seeing Viv go sprawling. The other skaters must have been shaking with having to follow on after her.

Yes! I will try and watch it real-time tonight.
Bye ‘til later ……..

The semi final tonight everyone, plus a double elimination if I remember rightly. See you later.

I am surprised when Pro skaters seem to lift their partners with ease and grace whatever their weight Sparklefizz .
I noticed Silvan’s arms too 💪 .

Good point TillyTrotter. I noticed Silvain's amazingly muscular upper arms as he was wearing a short sleeved top. I imagine they do have to be very strong to lift their partner above their head.

As The Viv is bigger than her partner, and probably weighs a couple of stone more than him, this is going to be difficult.

Perhaps Molly’s pro partner Silvan Longchambon is popular too Charley.

He is also married to a “soap star” from Coronation Street.
A soap “power” couple?

I also was amazed that Molly was not in the skate off and it must be her Coronation Street followers saving her.

I would love The Vivienne to win but Nile is also really good.

I expected Molly to be in the skate off and I thought she'd go home tonight.

Yes, the Semi Final has come round really quickly. Then there's a double elimination next week!!

Oh blow me down.
Carly has been fabulous.

Nile, Joey and James are all improving each week. The props were different and the routines fun.
Shame Siva was given a slow piece of music - it shows the errors more,

Is it the semi final next week?
This series has whizzed by. I think sadly it is Siva’s time to go.

A good night skating wise, unless soap fans vote for Molly I think it will be between her and Siva in the skate off.

Nile's my favourite too and I vote for him every week. I loved his routine this week. I also enjoyed Carley's skating as it was quite theatrical.

Some terrific skating tonight (and also some nasty injuries!)
Anyone else watching?

Oh Yes! I'm watching, just enjoyed seeing my favourite, Nile.
They are all really good now, aren't they?
